The Black Obelisk

Germany, 1920s. Hyperinflation, social collapse, and a looming threat of fascism.

Ludwig, a veteran of the First World War, now sells tombstones and plays the organ at a psychiatric clinic to make ends meet. In a world marked by chaos and instability, he meets Isabella — a young woman with dissociative identity disorder. As the country crumbles around them, they find a fragile love and fleeting moments of clarity.

The Black Obelisk is a powerful portrait of post-war disillusionment and the early signs of political darkness to come. It’s a story of trauma, art, and the human desire to make sense of a senseless world.
